IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Only certain types of glass, heatproof glass-ceramic,
ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed cookware are suitable
for cooking on the range STAR burners. This type of
cookware may break with sudden temperature changes.
Use only on low or medium heat settings according to the
utensil manufacturer’s directions.
DO NOT heat or warm unopened food containers. Build-up
of pressure may cause the container to burst and cause
injury.
When using the cooktop: DO NOT TOUCH THE BURNER
GRATES OR THE IMMEDIATE SURROUNDING AREA.
Areas adjacent to the STAR
®
burners may become hot
enough to cause burns.
During cooking, set the STAR burner control so that the
flame heats only the bottom of the pan and does not extend
beyond the bottom of the pan.
Bakeware, such as large casserole pans, cookie sheets,
etc., should NEVER be used on the cooktop.
Use caution to ensure that drafts like those from forced air
vents or fans do not blow flammable material toward the
flames or push the flames so that they extend beyond the
edges of the pot.
ALWAYS use pots and pans that have flat bottoms large
enough to cover the STAR
®
burner. The use of undersized
pots and pans could expose a portion of the flame and may
result in ignition of clothing.
DO NOT use flammable cleaners to clean the range.
WARNING
NEVER cover any slots, holes, or passages in the ovens
bottom or cover an entire rack with materials such as
aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow through the ovens.
Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat, causing a fire
hazard.
WARNING
The appliance is for cooking. Based on safety
considerations, NEVER use the ovens or cooktop to warm
or heat a room. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide
poisoning and overheating of the ovens. Also, such use
can damage the cooktop or oven parts.
WARNING
RANGE TIPPING HAZARD:
• All ranges can tip and injury can result. To prevent
accidental tipping of the range, attach it to the floor,
wall, or cabinet by installing the Anti-Tip Device
supplied.
• A risk of tip-over may exist if the appliance is not
installed in accordance with these instructions.
• If the range is pulled away from the wall for cleaning,
service, or any other reason, ensure that the Anti-Tip
Device is properly reengaged when the range is
pushed back against the wall. In the event of
abnormal usage (such as a person standing, sitting,
or leaning on an open door), failure to take this
precaution can result in tipping of the range. Personal
injury might result from spilled hot liquids or from the
range itself.
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS, IN
THE EVENT OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE,
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
• Smother flames with a close-fitting lid, cookie sheet,
or other metal tray, then turn off the gas STAR
®
burner or the electric element. Be careful to prevent
burns. If the flames do not go out immediately,
evacuate and call the fire department.
• NEVER pick up a flaming pan — You may be burned.
• DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dish cloths or
towels — a violent steam explosion will result.
• Use an extinguisher only if:
• You know you have a class ABC extinguisher and
you already know how to operate it.
• The fire is small and contained in the area where
it started.
• The fire department is being called.
• You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.
WARNING
Avoid using high flame setting with a pan larger than the
grate or with one that spans more than one STAR burner,
such as a griddle, for prolonged periods of time. This can
result in poor combustion that generates harmful by-
products.
